Real Salt Lake Soccer Club Enhances Fan Experience with Comcast Business and Comcast Smart Solutions
New IPTV and Digital Signage Integration Transforms Private Suites at America First Field
Comcast Business, in partnership with Comcast Smart Solutions, today announced an expanded collaboration with Major League Soccer's Real Salt Lake (RSL) and the Utah Royals FC (URFC) to elevate the fan experience at America First Field in Sandy, Utah. The newly deployed solutions enhance fan engagement and streamline content management in the stadium's 33 private suites.
This collaboration demonstrates Comcast's unique ability to deliver comprehensive solutions, combining the technology and expertise of both Comcast Business and Comcast Smart Solutions. Comcast Business provides high-performance connectivity, including a Dedicated Internet connection and video content distribution across the suites. At the same time, Comcast Smart Solutions delivered an advanced digital signage platform, installing 33 IPTV screens and a centralized IPTV content management system (CMS) to manage the displays. With remote content management, this solution eliminates the need for manual screen adjustments, helping to improve operational efficiency and enhancing the overall fan experience.
"Comcast Business is proud to play a key role in transforming the fan experience at America First Field. Through our advanced connectivity solutions, we're enabling Real Salt Lake and Utah Royals FC to elevate engagement with their fans while powering smooth, efficient operations," said Christian Nascimento, Senior Vice President, Connectivity and Digital Customer Solutions, Comcast Business. "Our ability to integrate these technologies with Comcast Smart Solutions showcases how we can deliver comprehensive, cutting-edge systems that meet the unique needs of modern sports venues and enterprises worldwide."
"By combining the power of Comcast Business and Comcast Smart Solutions, we've created a seamless, integrated system that meets the unique needs of a modern sports venue like America First Field," said Mike Slovin, Vice President and General Manager, Comcast Smart Solutions. "This collaboration enables Real Salt Lake and Utah Royals FC to offer their fans a more dynamic and efficient game-day experience, while simplifying content management throughout the stadium."
The new IPTV and digital signage solutions are part of a broader effort to modernize the stadium's technology infrastructure. Prior to the upgrade, the suite televisions relied on analog systems. With the new technology in place, RSL and URFC can now deliver high-quality, immersive viewing experiences for fans, enhancing both the atmosphere in the stadium and operational efficiency for the teams.
"Providing an exceptional experience for fans in our private suites is a top priority," said John Kimball, President, Real Salt Lake and Utah Royals FC. "Thanks to Comcast's advanced technology solutions, we're able to offer a seamless, engaging experience that keeps our guests connected to the action – whether it's during live games or with sponsored content. This integrated system gives us more control and ensures a better experience for both employees and fans."
Established in 2004 and calling America First Field home, RSL is a 21-year-old professional Major League Soccer club that has built a passionate fan base. Utah Royals FC returned to represent the state for a second iteration in 2024, bringing the National Women's Soccer League back to the Beehive State.
This deployment is part of RSL and URFC's ongoing commitment to improving fan engagement and operational efficiency at America First Field.
